Ai'ini.' 4. llouae A bill was passed providing that the act of February 18, 1193, in regard to tbe enrollment of coasting and nsliing vessels, shall not bo construed so as to apply to canal boats, or boats employed in the internal waters or canals of any State, except such as are provided with sails or machinery adapted to lake or coastwise navigation. Mr. Butler, from the Judiciary committee, asked leave to report a bill providing that when judges are impeached for high crimes and misdemeanor they shall be suspended until discharged or until the impeachment be withdrawn. Objection was made and the bill was not reported The House spent the balance of the session in considera-tiod of the Currency bill.' - Cleucral Assembly. ' April 4. Senate The House bill to create a separate civil "township in Wood county out of original townships was passed as amended by the Senate The General Appropriation bill was amended so as to reduce the appropriation for the Northern Lunatic Asylum from $234,000 to $200,000, and inserting an appropriation of $2000 for the expenses of the commission to look after the improvement of .the Ohio river. The bill was ordered to be read the ihird time on Monday Bills were passed H. B. to limit the annual compensation of the Hamilton county Coroner to $3000; S. B. to requiro annual publication of county receipts and expendi-tures; aud to authorize the Trustees of Cadiz township, Harrison county, to transfer railroad fund to township fund A committee was appointed to consider the expediency of modifying the plan of the Central Lunatic Asvlum so as to make the building smaller. Home The Senate bill to authorize certain incorporated companies to hold properly and carry on business in any county of the Ktate, and beyond the limits thereof, aud to take stock in oilier companies, was passed. Henry Lindenburg would make an exceptionably good member of the school hoard. Boost him. It was very cruel of the Mayor not to make an exception in favor of the chateau de Bergen, in I) in proclamation closing houses of consolation during election day. II. E. V. Smith, of the Enquirer corps, is in the city. Smith can squeeze more news into a shorter paragraph than any other man we know of. And yet be is rather a tender hearted man in general. Give Michael lliilui a boost to-day. Michael runs independent against Peter Baker, for Councilman of the Fourth Ward. Halm ia a practical man, has done a large business for many years, employing a great many men. The New York Times favors making Good Friday a legal holiday. It Bays wholesale houses are closed and business practically suspended on that day, and bankers complain of the hardship of being obliged to do business on that day. At the Democratic primary in one ward of this city, a man came near being nominated for Councilman who has been out of the penitentiary only about six weeks. Ilia was pardoned out, and was second (over sixty votes) on tfie list of candidates. ' Arnold Isler was one of the best soldiers in the Twentythird Eegiment ; Is a self educated man of marvellous pluck and energy; and the writer of this will cheerfully go on his bond, for honest, faithful and diligent discharge of his du ties. Give him a big boost. Hinman h a Democrat, and is one of the most valuable members of the Coun cil. His defeat would be a loss to the whole city. His ward should look to it that they do not permit themselves to play into the hands of men who deserve the contrary. Boost Hinman. Hisxan's ward ia nndoubtedly indebted to him for the projected tunnel of the railroad tracks, which will restore com munication between them and the city. Is it worth while to indorse a man who does something for his ward, or shall he be treated just the same as any man who does nothing? One question for men who understand business: If such men as Hinman are crowded out of the Council men with a standing on 'Change which ia a guaranty with capitalists for cjty debts how is the city going to raise money hereafter? We do not know Mr. ninnian's opponent. He is doubtless very hontst, respectable gentleman, whom it is our misfortune not to know. We bavs not one word to say against him. But can he go on 'Change and Influence bankers to cash the city's note for twenty, thirty or Iftjr thousand dollars, when the money is deeded? A Modest Deimicrntlr Committee. Every business man in the city can well aflbrtl to put in one day for the sua cess of the Citizens' Ticket. It is entirely unexceptionable in make up, as to the men upon it and the manner in which tbdy were put upon it. This is especi' ally true of the candidates for the Police Commissioners. .' , How is it with the Democratic noini nees? m . . , It looks most kind and liberal of the committee to have' apparently permitted the people to have one of the offices. Perhaps there was nobody else on the committee who wanted to be Police Com- sioner if there was, it was most kind and considerate of the committee to seem to leaye one office to be generously diatrihu ted among so mncli of the Democratic party as did not happen to hnd itself on the committee. The committee might have taken all. It had as much right to take all as it had to take all minus one. It really looks, at first glance, aa if the members of the committee had displayed great lack of capacity for .looking after their own interests, in allowing this one office to go outside the committee. We say nothing about iFalkenbach the commit tee had nothing to do with his selection although, on further reflection, wearedisi posed to think that the committee, hav ing taken jurisdiction of. the question, might also have set aside his nomination if they had felt disposed to be hoggish about it. But they did not. They allowed it to stand, and did not even raise the question which was very kind of them. They simply took the remaining offices and divided them as the white man divided tho turkey and the buzzard with the Indian. They took the turkey, and left the buzzard to the rest of the party William Miller being the buzzard, in this cave. (We mean no disrespect to the buzzard, but the exigencies of the figure require it to be so.) It was a happy thought on the part of the committee to select William Miller. Perhaps the name of William Miller was on the tip of every Democratic tongue of the city, as the' particular person best suited to be Police Commissioner. A man bo clear of all jobs. A man who never gets mixed up with any contracts. Down on rings. A man who would re sist a temptation to make money out of public work as Joseph resisted Potiphar's wife, until he lost everything down to the most intimate of his bodily lined, and had only a thin layer of underclothes between Kim and, a fat contract. . Frankly, now, if yon who read these lines had been called npon to select a man for Police Commissioner, would it not have been your first thought to take the uncontaminated name of Miller poor but honest William Miller? And how long after that would it have been before your mind clung to tho names of Merrick and Bergen, as lit associates for Miller? Yet, there are foolish persons who claim that Comstock, with his quarter of a century's experience in important city business, and his term of service on the best Board of Police Commissioners any city in Ohio has ever had, should he con tinued for another term. There are others who think Falkenbach and Peters ought to be continued, as a mark of public approbation for the best police the city has ever had. There are others who think P. L. Butler, with his strong common sense, his large business experience, would be a valuable acquisition to the Board, since Donaldson declines to serve another term. If you belong to this latter class, show your faith ' by your works. Spend an hour or two in working for the Citizens' ticket, and beat the Ward Bummers' ticket so far out of sight that no half dozen Belfappointed guardians of the Democratic party and the people shall ever again d-Are attempt to foist upon the city a selection of their own number for such an important office as that of Police Commissioner.Who Mar V..lf. mid Mllh Wlint Kind of Ticket. If you are a citizen and are not idiotic, insane, a convict or a woman, you are en titled to vote to-day if you are Twentyone years old and npward; Have been a citizen of Ohio for the last one year; . . . Of the county thirty days; , Of the ward or township twenty days, if unmarried; no restriction as to ward or township if married. The ballot must be on plain white pa per; written with pencil or ink, or printed with black ink; not less than onefifth of an inch between names; "without any device or mark of any description to dis tinguish one ticket , from another, or by which ono ticket may be distinguished from another by its appearance, except the words at the head of the ticket; and whenever any ballot with a certain designated heading shall contain printed thereon in place of 'another, any name not found on the regular ballot having such heading, such name so found shall be regarded by the judges of election as hav ing been placed there for the purpose of fraud, and said ballot shall not count for the same so found, and it shall bs unlawful for any person to print for distribution at the polls, or distribute to any elector, or knowingly to vote any ballot, printed or written, contrary to the provisions of (bis act; provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit tbe erasure, correction or inser tion of any name by pencil mark or with ink upon the face of the printed ballot." The above paragraph, recently amended, as above, has been construed by the Attorney General as follows; , The evident object of the space required to be left below each lame on the ballot is to enable the elector to write in any name he may desire to in place of the printed one. You may then writi the name of sn " independent " candidate upon either or any of the " legular" tickets, in the place of that of the regular candidate for the sarna office. If you prefer, you may lawfully print the independent's name upon a ticket, all the ether candidates' names thereoneing regular ju but, iu such a case, me neauing ot your ticket must be dillerent trom that of the regular one and it should be to different that one would not be liable to mistake the one for the other. : ; To illustrate : . Suppose one should de sire the election of the regularly nominated Republican ticket, except two candidates thereon, and as to the offices fur winch they stand he should desire the election of the Democratic candidates. He may lawfully proceed in one or all of several ways, as respects the ballotR. to accomplish his purpose. l. He may write the names of the Democratic candidates npon the regular xveuuuuuaii ircaeis in me proper Places. erasing me two Kepublican names. 2. He may write the names of the Republican candidates, except the two, upon the regular Democratic tickets. 3. He may mint his ticket throughout. but he cannot give it the heading of either the Kepublican or Democrat ticket. He may designate it as a "Mixed Ticket," or lonn smith s ticket," or tbe like; and he may. leave it without any headine at all. It is competent under the act to change "regular" ticket by the substitution of names of persons not nominated, etc., and to print, circulate, and vote the changed ticket, but not under the "certain designated heading" of the reaular ticket. As I have said, the heading of the changed ticket should be. entirely different from that of the regular, so as not to mislead. Xou ask further, "Whether an Alder man is, by virtue of his position, a judge of election at the polls." He is not. in cities the "two Councilinen of each ward, and the elector receiving at the previous April election therein the highest number of votes for the office of Councilman of those not elected thereto, are the judges of election of such ward. See laws 1870, 48. . . The Saturday Review Bays the present English Ministry, unless it goes out of its way to make gross blunders, will probably last a long time ; and it finds every reason for supposing that Mr. Gladstone will have'the dearest wish of his heart in a serene old age undisturbed by the careB of office. Gladstone accepts the leadership of the Opposition for the present session, with the proviso that his attendance will be rare. Outside Parliament there is al ready a reaction in favor of GladBtoue. He has the accumulated strength of great ness in misfortune, and his indifference to further officeholding will give a national importance to criticisms which would otherwise be considered as mere partisan attacks on the government. In truth Gladstone is now in a position to be more valuable to the country than while he . was Premier. The Liberals are totally without a policy, and they must work out a new policy with great caution and tentatively, the Review holds. It is opposed to having the party collect all the wild notions and extravagant crotchets of extreme partisans into a bundle, and shriek out that that is the true programme of genuine Liberals. It indicates faintly the true line of policy as, "a Liberalism which shows strong and determined front to revolutionary measures, to fanatics of all kinds, and to Home Bulers." In casting about for a leader to take Mr. Gladstone's place after this session the Beview finds no one worth mentioning, except the Marquis of Hartington, and he is mentioned "not because he was specially fit, but because he was the son of a Duke," to.quote the Review'sown language. His promotion was to be "made avowedly a matter of social superiority," with the consoling reflection that "as Lord Hartington must be a Duke some day, it was certain that he could ultimately be got rid of"!. But the cable, in'Thursday'a State Journal, informs us of the death of the Duke of Devonshire, hi father; and as he is already a Duke this information is profitable only aa showing the queer machinery of English politics, and what manner of timber the great English Liberal party is made of. The Sunday News, in a review of Captain Vance's letter on Hinton, makes the following point i The letter was called out by a trenchant editorial article in the State Journal about one Hinton, who, during an unexpected spasm of virtue, had made affidavit that be had been drawing for several years past a clerk's salary ($1200 per year) in the Pension Bureau, without ever performing in consideration thereof a day a work in that or any other department of the Government. In his sarcastic puncturing of Hinton, Couily, it seems, labored under the impression that he (Hinton) was an "independent correspondent," and Comly, you know, hasn't a particle ot love lor independent correspondents or independent journals. But, mauger bis great volubility, Vance made a capital point on our Columbus postmaster and organ editor by the statement that Hinton was not an "independent correspondent," but on the contrary was among the loyalest ot toe truly loyal to the Administration. We do not wish to be misunderstood in this matter, on account of having forgotten to answer Captain Vance's letter, and will make our reply here, without further delay : If Hinton is not an "in dependent" correspondent, we do not know what an independent correspondent is. He corresponded with the St. Louis Globe, an independent paper edited by J. B. McCullagh, formerly independent cor-. resKndent, latterly Democratic and more recently independent editor ; also, with the Boston Globe, started expressly as an "independent" newspaper, to supply a want supposed to be lelt vacant by the old party organs ; also, with the New York Mail, a literary, society and " independent " newspaper ; also, with the Graphic, the new illustrated " independent news, paper. If Mr. Hinton has ever corres ponded with a "party" newspaper, we have not known of it. He probably did clerical work for the National Kepublican committee, as charged. These "independent" correspondents are sometimes willing to work for anybody that will see them paid for the work. But Captain Vance and the Sunday News both desire to know and Dona Piatt and his Capital want to know and many others want to know, why we omit ted to pitch into the National Republican committee,for recommending tbe appointment of Hinton, and Commissioner Baker for bearing Hinton on his tolls so long witnout work. dw, the truth is. we were pitching intd'Hinton on that partic' ular occasion, and it never occurred to ils to imagine that anybody, even an "inde. pendent" Correspondent,, could suspect us of holding anybody else guiltless who had been in' complicity with' him, (if theA were any such,) simply because we did not turn aside from Hinton to deliver b scattering fire in another direction. . ; These are all the points raised in Cap tain Vance's letter: 1. That' Hinton: is not an "independent correspondent" which is a mere distinction in technology,1 for we still think he is. 2. That we did not pitch into "those other fellows," too but we were not then giving our atten tion to those other fellows, though our opinion of all persons guilty of tbe same offence ought to be sufficiently clear from the observations on Hinton.. One word as to Captain Vance, i He is an "independent" correspondent, and he feels aggrieved by our characterization of that interesting class in a Washington letter last winter. That characterization was a piece of generalization, which was not intended to be personal in its applica tion, but to have the features of the class. As such it has been recognized as a true and accurate picture, from one end of the Union to the other. It has not one fea ture which we are not able now to fit to some person in the guild, and swear to, if need be, as absolutely correct. It is a pleasant consequence of Capt. Vance's letter to be able to make it the occasion for Baying, from an intimate acquaintance with him, that only the smallest possible portion of the characterization could ap ply to him personally, in our opinion. Beyond a too great readiness to believe any evil, however monstrous and improbable, of men in public life, we do not recognize the features of Captain Vance in any of the features of our generaliza tion called the "Independent Corre spondent." ' , ' '," ' At the risk of having a new Investigat ing committee, and having the Legislature stay all summer, we make the assertion that there is still one small office filled by a Republican, who might be ousted by a judiciously contrived law, and a Democrat put in. But nothing short of an Investigating committee shall induce us to tell what the office is. The Sunday Commercial, in response to our anxious inquiries as to Pendleton, says : Mr. Pendleton was a hospitable een tie- man before there were greenbacks hut as he is the representative man of the idea of issuing money so as to make the country lively and pay off the bonds in our pre cious paper, be should have all the Presi dential advantages that may be in it. 1'lnin Words to Bector Kcllog'a'. Dear Sir You have been quite free in the use of the State Journal lately, through its columns to express your opinions about those who have ventured to question your statements about Martin Luther, and have asked you for the authorities in the matter of dispute. Now, my good fellow, don't you think that you have said about enough by way of introduction ? I deny the truthfulness of your remarks about Luther, and challenge you to prove that 1. Luther was a foe to celibacy. 2. He denied explicitly and in every relation the existence of chastity as a physical impossibility. 3. He boldly preached polygamy. 4. It is impossible to quote from his sermon on matrimony (from which sermon and why ?) 5. The boisterous Luther occasioned a fearful dissolution of morals, and that the sway of worse than Mahometan license was only prevented by the strong arm of the law. . Hoping that you will come to the question before us, I am . Your srespectfully, C. H. L. SCHUETTE. Columbia, April 4, 1874. STATE NtWS. Akron has now a public library.

An Exciting Incident of the Temperance Crusade. The IHuyor and Posse Knocking Mown the Sentry- Bnn-Harrow Kfeeape from a Bloody Row Bluer Contention Over ibe tiny System. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Mt. Vernon, 0.,! April 5. The mon otdny of the women's whisky war was somewhat broken yesterday, and a serious and bloody riot came near being the result It appears that Mayor Davis some time ago ordered the Marshal to remove the cribs or sentry, boxes from the pave ments, and hereafter to keep the sidewalks clear of obstructions of a similar nature. The Marshal refused to obey the order and was reported to the City Council, who referred the matter to a committee for action and report. Considerable delay having occurred, upon 'yesterday the Mayor, with a posse, appeared upon the scene, and began knocking the refrigerators into pieces while the women were occupying them. Just at tins juncture about one hundred of the. crusaders turned the Vine street corner, in full view of the Mayor's posse, and they immediately crowded around the officer and bis force, who were thereby unable to proceed with their work of demolition. At this moment some person struck a blow, causing a stream of blood to spurt from the nose and eye of a man named Beach, and here began a scene of confu sion which bid fair to become a serious and bloody riot. By the prompt and timely action of the officers, however, the mob was controlled, and there was no further bloodshed. ihe crowd lingered about the corner of Main and Vine streets during the after- qoon, and not until toward evening did the last straggler abandon the spot. It is impossible to loretell what may yet grow out of these complications, there is a deep seated and bitter opposition to the spy system, and the manner in which it is conducted. Many persons who re joiced at the outset aud had heartfelt sympathy with the praying women, are earnest in their expressed hostility toward the spy system, and that it has done much to injure the cause is apparent. upon the other hand, the women and their adherents are firm in their determination to keep it up, and hence no one can safely predict what may result from the two conflicting elements. K. West ix Co., clothiers and merchant tailors, made an assignment yesterday of their stock of goods and merchandise to N. Boynton, of this ciiy. To the Associated Press. Cincinnati, April 5. A Mt. Vernon, Ohio, special to the Enquirer says Judge Davis to-day attempted to enforce the ordinance against obstructing sidewalks, and ordered the sentry box used by tho crusaders to be removed from the front of the grocery of James Rogers. An ex cited crowd interfered and prevented the removal of the box. The atlair occasions excitement, and there are fears of serious disturbance. A Mysterious Corpse. St. Louis, April 5. A necro express man yesterday took a box to the Adams Express office, marked "tin and hardware," and addressed to Fred Voriuger, 213 Chestnut street, Louisville, Ky. The agent, suspecting it contained a corpse, declined to receive it, and the express man took it to the police station on Chestnut street, where it was opened and found to contain the dead body of a man, recently deceased. As no marks of violence were on the body, and there was no other evidence of foul play, it is supposed the corpse was designed for anatomical 'purposes. The negro stated that he received the box from a wagon up town, and was directed to take it to the Express office for shipment, The Coroner will hold an inquest and post mortem to-morrow, and endeavor to as certain where the body came from, and whether crime has been committed. Several seizures of whisky have been made here during the past few days. Developments of irregularities in the manu facture of highwiues here and at other points in the Went are expected soon. Harder in Itllllnrd Saloon. Cincinnati, April 5. A special from Bluffton, Ind., ssys a horrible murder was perpetrated in that town last night, Phillip Jones, an old farmer, tried to make peace between a party of roughs who were quarreling and hithting over a game of billiards in the only drinking saloon that has not yielded to the women's movement. One of the rowdies, Benj. F. Field, struck Farmer Jones on the head with a billiard cue, crushing his skull; then kicked him in the face when down, and then fled. Jones died soon after. Field has not been arrested. The excite ment is intense. Collapse of a Bnlloon. San Francisco, April 5. Barbier's balloon Lesecours made an ascension yes terday afternoon from Woodward's gardens. When nearly over the town of San Laudro, six hundred feet in air, the balloon collapsed. Four men and two ladies were in the car. The balloon struck the ground with great force and dragged about three hundred yards. No lives were lost, but all the occupants or the car were hurt none seriously. All but Barbier returned to the city last night. Insanity of a Bank President. Chicago, April 5. A special from Muscatine, Iowa, says Hon. Jacob Butler, Vice President of the Marine Bank of Chicago, who was on a business visit to Muscatine.became suddenly and violently insane on Friday last, and yesterday was removed to an insane asylum.

To gain entrance to the dining room it was only necessary to use a screw-driver in removing the lock of a door. From the dining room an unlock. ed door communicated with tbe lunch de partment, where the thief found from $200 to $225 in a drawer. He carried the money away, and at this writing we know of no ehie to him. The restaurant was not closed till three o'clock In the morning, and ' when the depot night policeman left the building between fonr and five o'clock in the morning everything aeemed to be all right ; so that the theft must have been committed shortly before daylight.

Ai'ini.' 4. llouae A bill was passed providing that the act of February 18, 1193, in regard to tbe enrollment of coasting and nsliing vessels, shall not bo construed so as to apply to canal boats, or boats employed in the internal waters or canals of any State, except such as are provided with sails or machinery adapted to lake or coastwise navigation. Mr. Butler, from the Judiciary committee, asked leave to report a bill providing that when judges are impeached for high crimes and misdemeanor they shall be suspended until discharged or until the impeachment be withdrawn. Objection was made and the bill was not reported The House spent the balance of the session in considera-tiod of the Currency bill.' - Cleucral Assembly. ' April 4. Senate The House bill to create a separate civil "township in Wood county out of original townships was passed as amended by the Senate The General Appropriation bill was amended so as to reduce the appropriation for the Northern Lunatic Asylum from $234,000 to $200,000, and inserting an appropriation of $2000 for the expenses of the commission to look after the improvement of .the Ohio river. The bill was ordered to be read the ihird time on Monday Bills were passed H. B. to limit the annual compensation of the Hamilton county Coroner to $3000; S. B. to requiro annual publication of county receipts and expendi-tures; aud to authorize the Trustees of Cadiz township, Harrison county, to transfer railroad fund to township fund A committee was appointed to consider the expediency of modifying the plan of the Central Lunatic Asvlum so as to make the building smaller. Home The Senate bill to authorize certain incorporated companies to hold properly and carry on business in any county of the Ktate, and beyond the limits thereof, aud to take stock in oilier companies, was passed. Henry Lindenburg would make an exceptionably good member of the school hoard. Boost him. It was very cruel of the Mayor not to make an exception in favor of the chateau de Bergen, in I) in proclamation closing houses of consolation during election day. II. E. V. Smith, of the Enquirer corps, is in the city. Smith can squeeze more news into a shorter paragraph than any other man we know of. And yet be is rather a tender hearted man in general. Give Michael lliilui a boost to-day. Michael runs independent against Peter Baker, for Councilman of the Fourth Ward. Halm ia a practical man, has done a large business for many years, employing a great many men. The New York Times favors making Good Friday a legal holiday. It Bays wholesale houses are closed and business practically suspended on that day, and bankers complain of the hardship of being obliged to do business on that day. At the Democratic primary in one ward of this city, a man came near being nominated for Councilman who has been out of the penitentiary only about six weeks. Ilia was pardoned out, and was second (over sixty votes) on tfie list of candidates. ' Arnold Isler was one of the best soldiers in the Twentythird Eegiment ; Is a self educated man of marvellous pluck and energy; and the writer of this will cheerfully go on his bond, for honest, faithful and diligent discharge of his du ties. Give him a big boost. Hinman h a Democrat, and is one of the most valuable members of the Coun cil. His defeat would be a loss to the whole city. His ward should look to it that they do not permit themselves to play into the hands of men who deserve the contrary. Boost Hinman. Hisxan's ward ia nndoubtedly indebted to him for the projected tunnel of the railroad tracks, which will restore com munication between them and the city. Is it worth while to indorse a man who does something for his ward, or shall he be treated just the same as any man who does nothing? One question for men who understand business: If such men as Hinman are crowded out of the Council men with a standing on 'Change which ia a guaranty with capitalists for cjty debts how is the city going to raise money hereafter? We do not know Mr. ninnian's opponent. He is doubtless very hontst, respectable gentleman, whom it is our misfortune not to know. We bavs not one word to say against him. But can he go on 'Change and Influence bankers to cash the city's note for twenty, thirty or Iftjr thousand dollars, when the money is deeded? A Modest Deimicrntlr Committee. Every business man in the city can well aflbrtl to put in one day for the sua cess of the Citizens' Ticket. It is entirely unexceptionable in make up, as to the men upon it and the manner in which tbdy were put upon it. This is especi' ally true of the candidates for the Police Commissioners. .' , How is it with the Democratic noini nees? m . . , It looks most kind and liberal of the committee to have' apparently permitted the people to have one of the offices. Perhaps there was nobody else on the committee who wanted to be Police Com- sioner if there was, it was most kind and considerate of the committee to seem to leaye one office to be generously diatrihu ted among so mncli of the Democratic party as did not happen to hnd itself on the committee. The committee might have taken all. It had as much right to take all as it had to take all minus one. It really looks, at first glance, aa if the members of the committee had displayed great lack of capacity for .looking after their own interests, in allowing this one office to go outside the committee. We say nothing about iFalkenbach the commit tee had nothing to do with his selection although, on further reflection, wearedisi posed to think that the committee, hav ing taken jurisdiction of. the question, might also have set aside his nomination if they had felt disposed to be hoggish about it. But they did not. They allowed it to stand, and did not even raise the question which was very kind of them. They simply took the remaining offices and divided them as the white man divided tho turkey and the buzzard with the Indian. They took the turkey, and left the buzzard to the rest of the party William Miller being the buzzard, in this cave. (We mean no disrespect to the buzzard, but the exigencies of the figure require it to be so.) It was a happy thought on the part of the committee to select William Miller. Perhaps the name of William Miller was on the tip of every Democratic tongue of the city, as the' particular person best suited to be Police Commissioner. A man bo clear of all jobs. A man who never gets mixed up with any contracts. Down on rings. A man who would re sist a temptation to make money out of public work as Joseph resisted Potiphar's wife, until he lost everything down to the most intimate of his bodily lined, and had only a thin layer of underclothes between Kim and, a fat contract. . Frankly, now, if yon who read these lines had been called npon to select a man for Police Commissioner, would it not have been your first thought to take the uncontaminated name of Miller poor but honest William Miller? And how long after that would it have been before your mind clung to tho names of Merrick and Bergen, as lit associates for Miller? Yet, there are foolish persons who claim that Comstock, with his quarter of a century's experience in important city business, and his term of service on the best Board of Police Commissioners any city in Ohio has ever had, should he con tinued for another term. There are others who think Falkenbach and Peters ought to be continued, as a mark of public approbation for the best police the city has ever had. There are others who think P. L. Butler, with his strong common sense, his large business experience, would be a valuable acquisition to the Board, since Donaldson declines to serve another term. If you belong to this latter class, show your faith ' by your works. Spend an hour or two in working for the Citizens' ticket, and beat the Ward Bummers' ticket so far out of sight that no half dozen Belfappointed guardians of the Democratic party and the people shall ever again d-Are attempt to foist upon the city a selection of their own number for such an important office as that of Police Commissioner.Who Mar V..lf. mid Mllh Wlint Kind of Ticket. If you are a citizen and are not idiotic, insane, a convict or a woman, you are en titled to vote to-day if you are Twentyone years old and npward; Have been a citizen of Ohio for the last one year; . . . Of the county thirty days; , Of the ward or township twenty days, if unmarried; no restriction as to ward or township if married. The ballot must be on plain white pa per; written with pencil or ink, or printed with black ink; not less than onefifth of an inch between names; "without any device or mark of any description to dis tinguish one ticket , from another, or by which ono ticket may be distinguished from another by its appearance, except the words at the head of the ticket; and whenever any ballot with a certain designated heading shall contain printed thereon in place of 'another, any name not found on the regular ballot having such heading, such name so found shall be regarded by the judges of election as hav ing been placed there for the purpose of fraud, and said ballot shall not count for the same so found, and it shall bs unlawful for any person to print for distribution at the polls, or distribute to any elector, or knowingly to vote any ballot, printed or written, contrary to the provisions of (bis act; provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit tbe erasure, correction or inser tion of any name by pencil mark or with ink upon the face of the printed ballot." The above paragraph, recently amended, as above, has been construed by the Attorney General as follows; , The evident object of the space required to be left below each lame on the ballot is to enable the elector to write in any name he may desire to in place of the printed one. You may then writi the name of sn " independent " candidate upon either or any of the " legular" tickets, in the place of that of the regular candidate for the sarna office. If you prefer, you may lawfully print the independent's name upon a ticket, all the ether candidates' names thereoneing regular ju but, iu such a case, me neauing ot your ticket must be dillerent trom that of the regular one and it should be to different that one would not be liable to mistake the one for the other. : ; To illustrate : . Suppose one should de sire the election of the regularly nominated Republican ticket, except two candidates thereon, and as to the offices fur winch they stand he should desire the election of the Democratic candidates. He may lawfully proceed in one or all of several ways, as respects the ballotR. to accomplish his purpose. l. He may write the names of the Democratic candidates npon the regular xveuuuuuaii ircaeis in me proper Places. erasing me two Kepublican names. 2. He may write the names of the Republican candidates, except the two, upon the regular Democratic tickets. 3. He may mint his ticket throughout. but he cannot give it the heading of either the Kepublican or Democrat ticket. He may designate it as a "Mixed Ticket," or lonn smith s ticket," or tbe like; and he may. leave it without any headine at all. It is competent under the act to change "regular" ticket by the substitution of names of persons not nominated, etc., and to print, circulate, and vote the changed ticket, but not under the "certain designated heading" of the reaular ticket. As I have said, the heading of the changed ticket should be. entirely different from that of the regular, so as not to mislead. Xou ask further, "Whether an Alder man is, by virtue of his position, a judge of election at the polls." He is not. in cities the "two Councilinen of each ward, and the elector receiving at the previous April election therein the highest number of votes for the office of Councilman of those not elected thereto, are the judges of election of such ward. See laws 1870, 48. . . The Saturday Review Bays the present English Ministry, unless it goes out of its way to make gross blunders, will probably last a long time ; and it finds every reason for supposing that Mr. Gladstone will have'the dearest wish of his heart in a serene old age undisturbed by the careB of office. Gladstone accepts the leadership of the Opposition for the present session, with the proviso that his attendance will be rare. Outside Parliament there is al ready a reaction in favor of GladBtoue. He has the accumulated strength of great ness in misfortune, and his indifference to further officeholding will give a national importance to criticisms which would otherwise be considered as mere partisan attacks on the government. In truth Gladstone is now in a position to be more valuable to the country than while he . was Premier. The Liberals are totally without a policy, and they must work out a new policy with great caution and tentatively, the Review holds. It is opposed to having the party collect all the wild notions and extravagant crotchets of extreme partisans into a bundle, and shriek out that that is the true programme of genuine Liberals. It indicates faintly the true line of policy as, "a Liberalism which shows strong and determined front to revolutionary measures, to fanatics of all kinds, and to Home Bulers." In casting about for a leader to take Mr. Gladstone's place after this session the Beview finds no one worth mentioning, except the Marquis of Hartington, and he is mentioned "not because he was specially fit, but because he was the son of a Duke," to.quote the Review'sown language. His promotion was to be "made avowedly a matter of social superiority," with the consoling reflection that "as Lord Hartington must be a Duke some day, it was certain that he could ultimately be got rid of"!. But the cable, in'Thursday'a State Journal, informs us of the death of the Duke of Devonshire, hi father; and as he is already a Duke this information is profitable only aa showing the queer machinery of English politics, and what manner of timber the great English Liberal party is made of. The Sunday News, in a review of Captain Vance's letter on Hinton, makes the following point i The letter was called out by a trenchant editorial article in the State Journal about one Hinton, who, during an unexpected spasm of virtue, had made affidavit that be had been drawing for several years past a clerk's salary ($1200 per year) in the Pension Bureau, without ever performing in consideration thereof a day a work in that or any other department of the Government. In his sarcastic puncturing of Hinton, Couily, it seems, labored under the impression that he (Hinton) was an "independent correspondent," and Comly, you know, hasn't a particle ot love lor independent correspondents or independent journals. But, mauger bis great volubility, Vance made a capital point on our Columbus postmaster and organ editor by the statement that Hinton was not an "independent correspondent," but on the contrary was among the loyalest ot toe truly loyal to the Administration. We do not wish to be misunderstood in this matter, on account of having forgotten to answer Captain Vance's letter, and will make our reply here, without further delay : If Hinton is not an "in dependent" correspondent, we do not know what an independent correspondent is. He corresponded with the St. Louis Globe, an independent paper edited by J. B. McCullagh, formerly independent cor-. resKndent, latterly Democratic and more recently independent editor ; also, with the Boston Globe, started expressly as an "independent" newspaper, to supply a want supposed to be lelt vacant by the old party organs ; also, with the New York Mail, a literary, society and " independent " newspaper ; also, with the Graphic, the new illustrated " independent news, paper. If Mr. Hinton has ever corres ponded with a "party" newspaper, we have not known of it. He probably did clerical work for the National Kepublican committee, as charged. These "independent" correspondents are sometimes willing to work for anybody that will see them paid for the work. But Captain Vance and the Sunday News both desire to know and Dona Piatt and his Capital want to know and many others want to know, why we omit ted to pitch into the National Republican committee,for recommending tbe appointment of Hinton, and Commissioner Baker for bearing Hinton on his tolls so long witnout work. dw, the truth is. we were pitching intd'Hinton on that partic' ular occasion, and it never occurred to ils to imagine that anybody, even an "inde. pendent" Correspondent,, could suspect us of holding anybody else guiltless who had been in' complicity with' him, (if theA were any such,) simply because we did not turn aside from Hinton to deliver b scattering fire in another direction. . ; These are all the points raised in Cap tain Vance's letter: 1. That' Hinton: is not an "independent correspondent" which is a mere distinction in technology,1 for we still think he is. 2. That we did not pitch into "those other fellows," too but we were not then giving our atten tion to those other fellows, though our opinion of all persons guilty of tbe same offence ought to be sufficiently clear from the observations on Hinton.. One word as to Captain Vance, i He is an "independent" correspondent, and he feels aggrieved by our characterization of that interesting class in a Washington letter last winter. That characterization was a piece of generalization, which was not intended to be personal in its applica tion, but to have the features of the class. As such it has been recognized as a true and accurate picture, from one end of the Union to the other. It has not one fea ture which we are not able now to fit to some person in the guild, and swear to, if need be, as absolutely correct. It is a pleasant consequence of Capt. Vance's letter to be able to make it the occasion for Baying, from an intimate acquaintance with him, that only the smallest possible portion of the characterization could ap ply to him personally, in our opinion. Beyond a too great readiness to believe any evil, however monstrous and improbable, of men in public life, we do not recognize the features of Captain Vance in any of the features of our generaliza tion called the "Independent Corre spondent." ' , ' '," ' At the risk of having a new Investigat ing committee, and having the Legislature stay all summer, we make the assertion that there is still one small office filled by a Republican, who might be ousted by a judiciously contrived law, and a Democrat put in. But nothing short of an Investigating committee shall induce us to tell what the office is.

Dear Sir You have been quite free in the use of the State Journal lately, through its columns to express your opinions about those who have ventured to question your statements about Martin Luther, and have asked you for the authorities in the matter of dispute. Now, my good fellow, don't you think that you have said about enough by way of introduction ? I deny the truthfulness of your remarks about Luther, and challenge you to prove that 1. Luther was a foe to celibacy. 2. He denied explicitly and in every relation the existence of chastity as a physical impossibility. 3. He boldly preached polygamy. 4. It is impossible to quote from his sermon on matrimony (from which sermon and why ?) 5. The boisterous Luther occasioned a fearful dissolution of morals, and that the sway of worse than Mahometan license was only prevented by the strong arm of the law. . Hoping that you will come to the question before us, I am . Your srespectfully, C. H. L. SCHUETTE. Columbia, April 4, 1874. STATE NtWS. Akron has now a public library.

An Exciting Incident of the Temperance Crusade. The IHuyor and Posse Knocking Mown the Sentry- Bnn-Harrow Kfeeape from a Bloody Row Bluer Contention Over ibe tiny System. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Mt. Vernon, 0.,! April 5. The mon otdny of the women's whisky war was somewhat broken yesterday, and a serious and bloody riot came near being the result It appears that Mayor Davis some time ago ordered the Marshal to remove the cribs or sentry, boxes from the pave ments, and hereafter to keep the sidewalks clear of obstructions of a similar nature. The Marshal refused to obey the order and was reported to the City Council, who referred the matter to a committee for action and report. Considerable delay having occurred, upon 'yesterday the Mayor, with a posse, appeared upon the scene, and began knocking the refrigerators into pieces while the women were occupying them. Just at tins juncture about one hundred of the. crusaders turned the Vine street corner, in full view of the Mayor's posse, and they immediately crowded around the officer and bis force, who were thereby unable to proceed with their work of demolition. At this moment some person struck a blow, causing a stream of blood to spurt from the nose and eye of a man named Beach, and here began a scene of confu sion which bid fair to become a serious and bloody riot. By the prompt and timely action of the officers, however, the mob was controlled, and there was no further bloodshed. ihe crowd lingered about the corner of Main and Vine streets during the after- qoon, and not until toward evening did the last straggler abandon the spot. It is impossible to loretell what may yet grow out of these complications, there is a deep seated and bitter opposition to the spy system, and the manner in which it is conducted. Many persons who re joiced at the outset aud had heartfelt sympathy with the praying women, are earnest in their expressed hostility toward the spy system, and that it has done much to injure the cause is apparent. upon the other hand, the women and their adherents are firm in their determination to keep it up, and hence no one can safely predict what may result from the two conflicting elements. K. West ix Co., clothiers and merchant tailors, made an assignment yesterday of their stock of goods and merchandise to N. Boynton, of this ciiy. To the Associated Press. Cincinnati, April 5. A Mt. Vernon, Ohio, special to the Enquirer says Judge Davis to-day attempted to enforce the ordinance against obstructing sidewalks, and ordered the sentry box used by tho crusaders to be removed from the front of the grocery of James Rogers. An ex cited crowd interfered and prevented the removal of the box. The atlair occasions excitement, and there are fears of serious disturbance. A Mysterious Corpse. St. Louis, April 5. A necro express man yesterday took a box to the Adams Express office, marked "tin and hardware," and addressed to Fred Voriuger, 213 Chestnut street, Louisville, Ky. The agent, suspecting it contained a corpse, declined to receive it, and the express man took it to the police station on Chestnut street, where it was opened and found to contain the dead body of a man, recently deceased. As no marks of violence were on the body, and there was no other evidence of foul play, it is supposed the corpse was designed for anatomical 'purposes. The negro stated that he received the box from a wagon up town, and was directed to take it to the Express office for shipment, The Coroner will hold an inquest and post mortem to-morrow, and endeavor to as certain where the body came from, and whether crime has been committed. Several seizures of whisky have been made here during the past few days. Developments of irregularities in the manu facture of highwiues here and at other points in the Went are expected soon.

Field has not been arrested. The excite ment is intense. Collapse of a Bnlloon. San Francisco, April 5. Barbier's balloon Lesecours made an ascension yes terday afternoon from Woodward's gardens.
